Their team of lawyers perhaps.
Their team of lawyers perhaps.Lower league clubs always sell players and once higher league clubs such as Swansea, Bournemouth or Burton Albion for that matter it's almost impossible to prevent them from leaving, I stand by the fact very little of the millions brought in from player sales recently has been spent on the team hence division 4. As for funding the running CCFC player sales has always done that going back years, but now we are "cash flow positive" according to our chairman I hope perhaps even expect once the sales of Harries, Ben Stevenson, George Thomas and Jordan Willis are completed a decent chunk of the received fees are spent on the team.
If we had to lose one of Willis Thomas and Harries this year I would always go for Harries. He's obviously talented but our immediate need is promotion out of this shit league and he's least likely to play a part this year.
Akinfenwa coming on and lining himself up against Harries was the main reason Wycombe got back into the Checkatrade semifinal and left us hanging on so badly. He's no midget but he's definitely lightweight still. Think he's only 6 ft 1" but his skinny frame makes him appear much taller than he really isThe lower leagues really aren't these land of bruising giants that people seem to make out. The technique is worse and the facilities are smaller, and that's about it. Harries isn't some lightweight midget. If he's good enough for Swansea to take an interest, he's good enough to do alright away at Forest Green Rovers.
Still baffles me how a pro footballer can't put on a bit of muscle if needed with all of the resources available to them.
Not all humans can gain muscle, doesn't matter if they are a pro footballer or not.

Footballers obviously have to be cautious when hitting the weights as excessive gym training can easily aggravate/cause injury. It's not as simple as smashing the gym 5 times a week and getting ripped within a year. If you haven't been blessed with genetics it takes years of work to build up the strength needed to become a comfortable CB as they have to gradually build themselves up. If footballers trained consistently alongside constant heavy gym work they'd never end up playing due to the fact that they'd be constantly fatigued/injured. Akinfenwa is a prime example, he trains very little and focuses on gym work. Probably why he's been stuck in League Two for his whole career. You need to find that balance to be a successful athlete.
hes still young. maybe hes been told to work on his positioning,stamina or cardio etc rather than beef up just yet?
also still too much made of league 2 strikers imo. i get feeling if harries played vs a works or pub football team people would back the striker up against him because hes a big lump!
Bit of a difference between League 2 and a Sunday team.
Yeah, there is also the balance with speed as well.
They are working with physios, nutritionists and trainers though. Am not saying he should be as strong as Akinfenwa or look like a wrestler but they can still put on a bit of muscle.
I'm not so sure-seen a few pub players in our team over the last few years.Bit of a difference between League 2 and a Sunday team.
